Garbage and Gold Episode 018: Top 40 Songs of 2018

Solid listener comments this week and the poll results from our last episode! Let's go!

Garbage and Gold Episode 17: Prom

Tis the season for maximum teenage angst, beautifully overpriced dresses, and lots of gossip!

Lindsey instructs Lisa on what it means to be "open for business", Lisa highlights some differences between prom in the south vs prom in the midwest, and one of us has photo evidence of being a beautiful pineapple. Per usual, we share our favorite listener comments AND the results from our Avengers episode! Let's go!

tgif shows

Garbage and Gold Episode 013: TGIF Shows

We are headed back to the 90's and this time, its a Friday night tv staple: the shows from ABC's TGIF lineup. After Lindsey asks a serious but rhetorical question, we dive into straight up deliberation. Lindsey and Lisa have a lot of feelings about our own garbage picks, are surprised by a random similarity in our gold picks and ponder the abundance of catchphrases that every TGIF show used. As always, we share our favorite listener comments and we've tallied the poll results from the new jobs episode!

new jobs

Garbage and Gold Episode 12: New Jobs

We always knew Lindsey and Lisa are very different people and this episode is full of examples of why. They discuss how everyone actually spends their downtime, when to start going to lunch with coworkers, why you should not wear a Star Wars t-shirt on your first day and so much more! As always, we share our favorite listener comments and the poll results from the Road Trips episode and they are exactly what you think they will be! Let's go!

We love us a good road trip! Lindsey and Lisa share some personal road trip stories (and get a little too personal, if we're being honest), deliberate if you can get airborne STIs, if ABBA is good or not, some of the best roadside attractions, and more! We also have some great listener shoutouts and the votes are in for 90s/00s Teen Dramas and it's kind of a twist, you guys. Lets go!

Garbage and Gold Episode 009: As Seen on TV Products

In this episode we discuss the best and the worst As Seen on TV Products! Lindsey makes Lisa gag. Lisa's research gives Lindsey some weirds. Lindsey has a GOLD idea for her very own As Seen on TV Product and Lisa admits she is patient zero for "fake it til ya make it". This episode might be our most ridiculous one yet...which is really saying something. Let's go!

Garbage and Gold Episode 005: Gas Station Food

In this episode we discuss the best and worst foods you can find at a gas station. Lindsey writes on garbage and Lisa can't handle it. Lisa sends Lindsey into a bit of a tailspin over her vegetable habits and we bust out the smelling salts.

We also get our first ever public podcast to podcast endorsement and it's pretty dope.
